Re: Hockey Media - nationally televised NHL games next year (in the US)

It's probably the injury, but I feel like I barely saw him at all last year, despite watching a huge amount of games. Not having any face time on national television is going to make the hype machine really weird for casual fans.

Yeah I was actually thinking that if I hadn't sought out the highlight clips I would probably think he was wicked overhyped, even though I'm aware he's not. I hope he stays healthy this season and more people will see him play, but I feel like it has the potential of becoming a weird situation where nobody really knows how good he is until the Oilers make the playoffs and he dominates against their team. Like he could end up being...underrated? By some fans? Which I never would have thought before last season when the hype machine had no breaks.
